Observation Ofc46rand Testing the Isobaric Multiplet Mass Equation at High Spin

The ground state band in Cr-46 and the isospin T = 1 band in V-46 have been delineated up to I-pi = 10(+) (tentatively 12(+)). These observations complete the highest spin T = 1 isospin triplet known. Following the isobaric multiplet mass equation, a combination of level energies in Cr-46, Ti-46, and V-46 are taken to highlight the angular momentum dependence of the isovector and isotensor parts of the interaction. The results are compared with full-fp-space shell model calculations. The influence of the one-body and two-body contributions to the isovector energy difference are investigated.
